The Queen currently owns four Corgis: Linnet, Monty, Willow, and Holly, as well as three Dorgis (Dachshunds mated with Corgis): Cider, Candy, and Vulcan. The Corgis even travel with Her Majesty—she’s said to trust pets more than people.

The Queen was first infected with Corgi fever in 1933 when her father, King George VI, bought a Corgi named Dookie from a local kennel. Years later, on her 18th birthday, Queen Elizabeth received her very own Corgi named Susan, who kept her canine legacy alive by popping out numerous royal pups.
